<br />STANDARD FORM 330 (REV. 3/2013) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Properties Adjacent to Miami Beach Convention Center: In preparation for redevelopment of City owned properties to enhance <br />the convention center area, E Sciences conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for land parcels adjacent to the <br />Miami Beach Convention Center. These parcels included a parking lot west of the convention center, the 21st Street Community <br />Center and Bandshell north of the convention center and the Fillmore theatre. The Phase I ESA revealed the historic operation of a <br />golf course on the project sites. This finding was identified as a recognized environmental condition (REC) based on the potential <br />historical application of herbicides and pesticides on the ground. A Phase II ESA was conducted by E Sciences in order to evaluate <br />the potential presence of soil and groundwater impacts based on the historical use of the sites. Incremental Sampling Methodology <br />was implemented in order to evaluate the potential presence of soil impacts and groundwater testing was conducted. ISM results <br />were indicative of the presence of arsenic concentrations above approved naturally occurring concentration criteria specific for <br />Miami Beach. Limited groundwater impacts were detected in one area. E Sciences assisted the City in evaluating a viable <br />development approach to address the onsite impacts. Upon coordination with Miami-Dade County RER Department, the City has <br />elected to implement a combination of engineering controls and source removal efforts as part of the development plan for the sites. <br />E Sciences documents are being included as part of the bidding documents to provide guidance to the development contractor. <br />Proposed Miami Beach Convention Center Headquarter Hotel: E Sciences conducted a limited site assessment for a site <br />including a portion of the Fillmore Theater and parking areas also adjacent to the Convention Center. This assessment was <br />conducted based on the former presence of a golf course discovered during a Phase I ESAs conducted by E Sciences for adjacent <br />properties. The assessment included soil and groundwater sampling and confirmed the presence of localized soil arsenic impacts <br />and the presence of nitrate concentrations above groundwater cleanup criteria at the site. The City will address these discoveries <br />during development planning and implementation at a future time. <br />Contract Budget/Fees: $313,735 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />25.
